But I wanted to do something with either buttercrisp lettuce, or Romaine…as those were the two varieties that I grew this year. Then it dawned on me…rather than an iceberg wedge…why not a Romaine wedge?!?

I’m sure you’ve been doing this for years…but I haven’t. This Romaine wedge concept is new to this girl.

It’s simple, takes 2 minutes to prepare, and it will leave you wanting another!

One of my favorite go to summer salads is an Asian citrus salad. You can use lettuce or spinach (or both) as a base. Sometimes I add chow mein noodles for crunch, and/or some leftover cold chicken for protien. Shrimp works well too. The secret is the Del Monte Naturals citrus salad (peeled grapefruit and oranges). This makes it super easy, and one 7 oz. container will work for two salads. No, I’m not hawking Del Monte, but they’re on sale a Kroger for a buck right no so I stocked up. Top it off with some Ken’s Steak House Lite Asian Sesame with ginger and soy dressing (love it!). That’s good, light, tasty eats.
